Even if they didn't get as much money from the deal, I have to think that it would still be better in the long run. I know, I know, FOX has the NFL, but what if those conflicts were resolved by moving the race to SPEED or more SUN night races? Maybe Speed isn't in as many households as ESPN, but I would be willing to bet they would get comparable ratings. As others have noted today and in the past, there is a definite comfort level between the drivers and the Speed/Fox reporters. <br /><br />I don't have the stats to prove or disprove my theory. This is just the opinion of a race fan.Haus14https://www.blogger.com/profile/06348382223779617438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-84367607792899705022009-08-14T15:27:40.906-04:002009-08-14T15:27:40.906-04:00I can't believe the lack of knowledge about th...I can't believe the lack of knowledge about the NW series that the crew in the booth has.
